Even after being pressured by the US to denounce and pleaded with him to join them in dehumanizing Hamas, he is still going to meet with Khaled Meshaal in Syria. Although his attempts seem hopeful, what sucks is the fact that he's old and can pass away soon not to mention the possibility the Zionists could assassinate him any second now.

Jimmy Carter has been GREATLY underestimated. The Israelis are snubbing him because he is trying to level the playing field.

Remember his book, "Peace not Apartheid"?

Now, what was that about?

I think its a little late, he's not President anymore

I have the book, myself

Too bad he is saying all of this 30 years too late, not when he was dealing with Egypt-Israel

He is a closet demagogue. I have no sympathy for either him or his new found religion. He is phony and a lousy one at that too.

Shirib,

Reagan and that sandstorm in the Iranian desert put an early end to Carter's Presidency.

Since then, however, if Carter has "observed" an election, and said it was fair, the results have rarely been challenged. In the case of his book, he is one of very few Westerners voicing the Palestinian position. In the case of speaking to Hamas, I feel he is setting an important example. Who else has noticed and is saying the playing field ain't level?

He may not have the big power any more, but that is one voice they are not going to silence. I say more power to him. We are at a watershed in history; the next President could just follow his lead.......

Carter did broker the Egyptian peace deal in 1979. I see this as just a continuation of that effort. If he had had more time......

Hamas or any Islamic movement should never trust individuals like Carter. He's trying to create fitnah with the scope of weakening Hamas. Hamas should declare him persona non grata. And Somalis should denounce and distance themselves from him. He's none other the man who encouraged MSB to invade Ogaden while promising (only to renege) to supply Somalia with weapons and arms. Down with Carter!

Ooh the irony..

Eternauta...the notion that we as muslims can never trust a non muslim and or broker a deal in the interest of our ppl is just nonesense..

Muhammed CSW himself had made deals with all kinds of ppl..no wonder why ppl label you as Takfiri

Carter is doing a good and sincere job and in what he believes to be fair and just..and I applaud him for the initiative.

Read well and don't jump to hasty conclusions. I didn't say we Muslims shouldn't trust any or every non-Muslim. Somalis have dealt with Carter; I didn't suggest to not trust him out of the blue.

" He's none other the man who encouraged MSB to invade Ogaden while promising (only to renege) to supply Somalia with weapons and arms."

Wa been.

Carter had absolutley no reason to trust MSB, who had just switched sides, again ( You do remember 1969?) , and promised him only defensive arms. Even this stopped as the SNA crossed into the Ogaden and then proceeded past the Ogaden towards Harar and the highlands. (You did notice those moves were not defensive?)

The American position has always been that the Russians created a mess in Somalia they were then allowed to clean up. Carter stopped the arms shipments when MSB went into offensive mode. This particular acusation is false and needs to go away.

Very well said. Carter was and still is a bastard in my book

Hillary clinton before her husband became president was seen as pro palestinain and pushing ofr a fair deal.

After she becomes first lady, he positions moves towards isreal and is seen as moderate.

after she ran for senate in NY, there is a remarkable change in her rehtoric..
she sometimes looks more extreme than likud.

Carter has no responisbilities now, he is a private person and he is able to speak his real thoughts.

The bytch got some money a Palestinian group, and the Israeli lobby forced her to give back the money and denounce it as a "blood money."
